“After living abroad for 46 years it’s a pleasure spending an evening like this, you don’t stop being Dominican even if you’ve lived here most of your life, without my Dominican oregano and vanilla I don’t cook. I hope to see you at the next event; I’ve participated to other Dominican Get Together, like the one with Solano and Jhonny.”Manolina Sosa
